New: Making the right decisions in chess - Fundamentals by GM Elisabeth Paehtz

by ChessBase Shop - 16/01/2023

The theme of “decision-making” is an essential part of every chess game. At every moment of the game, you must make a decision that is not only tactical; as psychology, structural preferences, positional basics and good variation calculation are all part of the process of making the right decision. It is said that, decisions are always right, only in retrospect we realize how incorrect we were. To improve one's decision-making ability, one must get this DVD which covers various aspects of decision making in chess by Germany number one for over two decades and only woman to have a Grandmaster title, Elisabeth Paehtz.

Making the right decisions in chess - Fundamentals

On my video course, I shed light on various fundamentals in chess, and help to master the right decisions in all types of positions. In a total of 6 chapters, we look at the following aspects: the right decision based on tactical factors, decisions in exchanges and moves, complex and psychological decisions in longer games and in defence.


With this, I hope to give the viewer an overall impression of the different phases and areas during a game of chess - with the result of making every player a master in decision-making.
